If you want one that bad just email Craig. I emailed him a couple o weeks ago to post bigger blocks
yeah, he'll post bigger sizes for auction but I don't think he'll sell off auction.
gg I've looked at so many blocks and only a very few really do it for me, that piece was ideal, one of the best I've ever seen. it might take me months to find the right size and right look and stabilized again, you can't just make one like that

Okies... well.... that was a lovely piece, but paying that much when you can see visible holes, and you don't know how solid it is inside is a bit expensive

When you cold work a metal you are introducing defects in it. Defects allow the material to deform by moving around. But defects tend to "repel" each other so that when the density gets high enough they "lock" each other in place. This means it will take much more force to move them past each other and so the material is harder. Heating allows defects to move without introducing more. Certain types of defects can combine with others and annihilate. These types actually attract each other because the energy of a perfect crystal is lower. By heating the crystal you are allowing the defects to rearrange and find their complementary other defects and dissappear. Incidentally the reason carbon makes steel hard is because it is a small atom and can travel through the iron crystal to the defect sites. The carbon collects around the defects and pins them there. In order for the defect to move it has to drag all the carbon atoms through the crystal too which takes much more force, hence a harder metal.
I know very little about working with wood, so pardon me if this was explained before. What is involved in the finishing process of these Dibis? Is there some sort of protective coating applied to the mod after the sanding and smoothing process?
He soaks them in toxic fast drying chemicals that will stick your fingers together for a good long time if you aren't careful...
AKA: Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue)

There are several software programs (most are free)that snipe eBay for you in the last nanosecond of the auction , you put in your Max bid and it does it for you, you don't even have to be online or watching the auction. I've won many this way.

EDIT: pdib beat me to it
Yea it sounds like they low balled in survey to not sound like creepers lol. Luckily I have no filters lmao

They had short term memory loss and could only remember the last 19 minutes.
I usually set my snipes to 2 or 3 seconds. That usually does the trick... Unless I'm bidding against someone crazier than me (NFL)

Thanks! Interesting use of Cyanoacrylate. That finish must be rock hard. Apart from the fumes it gives off before setting, it isn't really toxic isn't it?
I wouldn't think so, unless you are chewing on your wood

No we uses it to glue live coral to rocks, they are very sensitive creatures to anything in the water. Spray Windex on the other side of the room and coral will react.
See? S o m e b o d y cooked his brain! THEY're out there! Of course, once you feel the dire need for tinfoil, it's too late - THEY got you.
